A Viewer Writes: To State Representatives

I am writing this because of an injustice that occurred in Wicomico County June of 2015. The purpose for this letter is for informative purposes only. As a citizen of the United States of America I feel it is my duty to inform you of this incident.

I was arrested and charged not once but twice with a crime that I did not commit.The Wicomico County Sheriffs Office had the evidence in hand and a peace Order that was denied by the judge and still they came surrounded my house with guns took me out of my house (all on camera) handcuffed me did not ask me if I committed the alleged crime did not read me my rights then proceeded to take me to Wicomico County Detention Center. The officer had me handcuffed in an unmarked small car put me in the front seat and proceeded to EXCEED the speed limit which was 65 on the highway when I asked numerous times to please slow down at least to the speed limit because of the handcuffs behind my back I was just about at the windshield. Cpl Hamilton of WBI was driving and Officer Trp. Elzy was in the backseat. She refused to slow down. 4th and 5th amendment and 14th amendment -civil rights section1 rights in criminal cases deprived of life liberty or property without due process of the law. When we arrived at the Wicomico County Detention Center we sat in front of the gate for approximately ten minutes until Sheriff Mike Lewis pulled up Cpl. Hamilton rolled down my window and Sheriff Lewis pulled up to my side and proceeded to yell Who the hell do you think you are coming in my town talking to my juror If you think you come in my town think again with some other obscenities( we have repeatedly asked to preserve the footage of him at the Detention Center). Once inside I was booked and stripped and had to squat over a nasty dirty mirror in front of a detention employee then had to put on detention clothes.I was put in a cell with a window and an open toilet and male detention Officer had the privilege of walking by UNANNOUNCED AT ANYTIME. I was arrested at 2pm. I did not see the commissioner until 9pm that night I was denied a call to a lawyer they said I had to see the commissioner first. My bail was set at 200,000 dollars violates my eight amendment excessive bail. I was exercising my first amendment right of free speech. When I was asked to leave I left (they have it on video).Without incident. I have a right to ask a juror questions about a trial. In the jail cell the toilet had feces, blood and urine on the toilet and no toilet paper. I made four request for toilet paper at 4am they brought in toilet paper after a made another request and the man said to the woman detention officer “really your not giving the girl toilet paper” and then she brought it at 4am. At approximately 10am I was brought before the bail board and the man told the judge I said the word kill (which is an absolute lie not even in the mans statement did he say I said that word).At the bail hearing they did a Maryland Sentencing Guideline Worksheet it concluded that I should be released on my own recognizance instead he reduced bail to 30,000 dollars without a percent again violation of my rights. Then I had to wait until 4pm that day to be released. I went down to probation for an ankle bracelet I could not go to the beach in the water take a bath go on vacation also was restricted from any cell phone or computer use and had to be in by 9pm and was not allowed to talk about the case to anyone per judge and probation Officers.Once on probation I had to report once a week again take off my pants squat over a mirror in front of random officers and urinate in a cup. I had fines to pay weekly. I had to charge my ankle bracelet for an hour in the morning and an hour at night. I was told I was not charging it for one full hour so they were going to make me charge it for two hours in the morning and two hours at night. For 112 days a total of approximately 284 hours of charging approximately 11 days of charging. I don't know how old you are but I am 52 now 11 days of my life I sat and charged an ankle bracelet.I have never been arrested I have owned a successful childcare facility with my mother for 12 years. I supported my husband and he is retired Air Force and still continues to support MDA and NAVY in defending our country working out of NASA Wallops Flight Facility in a role that has taken him to PMRF WSMR Norway Alaska ect. on projects such as JFTM-4 JS KIRISHIMA 2010 in Kauai he has traveled and worked on over 250 successful missile launches for the United States of America to help protect our Constitution.

I finally found a great lawyer and I chose to go before a judge instead a jury because of what happened in my daughters case. I was acquitted on all charges. because I NEVER BROKE A LAW. My lawyer was going to represent me in a tort claim but he said he “If I represent you I will never win another case in Wicomico County again”. Sad to hear that don't you think Sheriff Mike Lewis went before the media and made outlandish statements about me and my daughters case. He not only lied to the media they embellished the picture of me. Then to add insult to injury Assistant States Attorney Richard Brueckner went before the General Assembly and referenced my case and my daughter with more outrageous lies please I would like you to view the link of him before the assembly. If you watch the link i would like to know am I mistaken or did he say he defends a crime family?

I am a veterans wife and my whole family has served in the military. I would like for someone to please investigate this incident.I happen to handle it with letters and knowledge of it to the senators.I do not want this to happen to someone else here in Wicomico County. It was unfair and unjust.

One purpose for this letter in to inform you and let you know Sheriff Mike Lewis cares about one amendment the 2nd he doesn't care about any other. I heard Sheriff Mike Lewis challenged President Obama to a civil war. Don't you think someone should investigate! He is corrupt and so is Wicomico County States Attorneys and Officers. I will gladly give you my file and my daughters file to review. I hope you can use this as a reference if it ever happens to anyone else.
